Esteres 2
1 Pēc tam, kad ķēniņa Ahasverus bardzība bija nostājusies, tad viņš pieminēja Vasti, un ko tā bija darījusi, un kas par viņu bija nospriests.
After these things, when the wrath of King Achashyerosh was pacified, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.
2 Tad ķēniņa jaunekļi, kas viņam kalpoja, sacīja: lai ķēniņam meklē jaunas jumpravas skaistu vaigu.
Then the king's servants who served him said, "Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king.
3 Un lai ķēniņš ieceļ uzraugus visās savās valsts tiesās, ka tie sapulcē visas jaunās jumpravas skaistu vaigu uz Sūsanas pili, uz to sievu namu, apakš Egajus, ķēniņa kambarjunkura, tā sievu sarga, un lai pie tām notiek mazgāšana un svaidīšana.
Let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the beautiful young virgins to the citadel of Shushan, to the women's house, to the custody of Hegai the king's eunuch, keeper of the women. Let cosmetics be given them;
4 Un kura jauna meita ķēniņam labi patiks, tā lai top par ķēniņieni Vastis vietā. Un tas vārds patika ķēniņam un viņš tā darīja.
and let the maiden who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti." The thing pleased the king, and he did so.
5 Un viens Jūdu vīrs bija Sūsanas pilī, vārdā Mardakajs, tas bija Jaīra, tas Šimejus, tas Ķisa dēls, Benjaminietis;
There was a certain Jew in the citadel of Shushan, whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,
6 Tas bija aizvests no Jeruzālemes līdz ar tiem, kas tapa aizvesti ar Jekaniju, Jūda ķēniņu, ko NebukadNecars, Bābeles ķēniņš, bija aizvedis.
who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives who had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.
7 Un viņš bija Adasas audžu tēvs, tā ir Estere, viņa brālēna meita, jo viņai nebija ne tēva ne mātes. Un viņa bija jauna meita daiļu augumu un skaistu vaigu. Un kad viņas tēvs un viņas māte nomira, tad Mardakajs viņu bija pieņēmis par meitu.
He brought up Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle's daughter; for she had neither father nor mother. The maiden was fair and beautiful; and when her father and mother were dead, Mordecai took her for his own daughter.
8 Kad nu ķēniņa vārds un viņa pavēle izpaudās un daudz jaunas meitas tika savestas Sūsanas pilī apakš Egajus rokas, tad Estere arī tapa ņemta ķēniņa namā, apakš Egajus, tā sievu sarga, rokas.
So it happened, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together to the citadel of Shushan, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.
9 Un tā meita viņam patika un atrada žēlastību viņa priekšā, un viņš steidzās tai dot tās svaidāmās zāles priekš mazgāšanās un viņas daļu, un viņš tai deva septiņas daiļas jaunas meitas no ķēniņa nama, un viņš to noveda ar viņas meitām tai vislabākā vietā sievu namā.
The maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness from him. He quickly gave her cosmetics and her portions of food, and the seven choice maidens who were to be given her out of the king's house. He moved her and her maidens to the best place in the women's house.
10 Bet Estere nebija teikusi nedz savus ļaudis nedz savus radus, jo Mardakajs viņai bija piekodinājis, lai tā to neteicot.
Esther had not made known her people nor her relatives, because Mordecai had instructed her that she should not make it known.
11 Un Mardakajs staigāja ikdienas gar sievu nama pagalmu, lai dabūtu zināt, kā Esterei klājās un kas ar to būšot.
Mordecai walked every day in front of the court of the women's house, to find out how Esther did, and what would become of her.
12 Kad nu ikvienas jaunietes reize atnāca iet pie ķēniņa Ahasverus, kad pēc sievu likuma ar to bija darīts divpadsmit mēnešus, (jo tik daudz laika pagāja viņu mazgāšanai un svaidīšanai, proti sešus mēnešus ar mirru eļļu un sešus mēnešus ar balzamu un citām sievu zālēm), -
Each young woman's turn came to go in to King Achashyerosh after her purification for twelve months (for so were the days of their purification accomplished, six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with sweet fragrances and with preparations for beautifying women).
13 Tad tā jauniete nāca pie ķēniņa, un ko viņa prasīja, to viņai deva, ka viņa ar to ietu no sievu nama uz ķēniņa namu.
The young woman then came to the king like this: whatever she desired was given her to go with her out of the women's house to the king's house.
14 Vakarā viņa iegāja un rītā viņa gāja atpakaļ uz otru sievu namu, apakš Zaāzgas, ķēniņa kambarjunkura, lieko sievu sarga; viņa negāja atkal pie ķēniņa, kā vien, kad ķēniņš viņu gribēja un viņu pie vārda sauca.
In the evening she went, and on the next day she returned into the second women's house, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch, who kept the secondary wives. She came in to the king no more, unless the king delighted in her, and she was called by name.
15 Kad nu Esteres, Abikaīla, Mardakaja brālēna, meitas, Mardakaja audzēknes, reize atnāca, iet pie ķēniņa, tad viņa neprasīja ne ko, ka tik vien ko Egajus, ķēniņa kambarjunkurs, tas sievu sargs, sacīja. Un Estere atrada žēlastību pie visiem, kas viņu redzēja.
Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, came to go in to the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's eunuch, the keeper of the women, advised. Esther obtained favor in the sight of all those who looked at her.
16 Tā Estere tapa ņemta pie ķēniņa Ahasverus ķēniņa namā desmitā mēnesī, tas ir Tebetmēnesis, viņa valdīšanas septītā gadā.
So Esther was taken to King Achashyerosh into his royal house in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.
17 Un ķēniņš iemīlēja Esteri pār visām sievām, un viņa atrada vairāk žēlastības un laipnības viņa priekšā nekā visas jaunietes, un viņš lika ķēniņa kroni uz viņas galvu un to cēla pār ķēniņieni Vastis vietā.
The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she obtained favor and kindness in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown on her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18 Un ķēniņš taisīja lielas dzīres visiem saviem lielkungiem un kalpiem, - tās bija Esteres dzīres, - un deva valstīm atvieglināšanu un izdalīja dāvanas pēc ķēniņa bagātības.
Then the king made a great feast for all his officials and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he proclaimed a holiday in the provinces, and gave gifts according to the king's bounty.
19 Kad nu otrā reizē tās jaunietes tapa sapulcētas, tad Mardakajs sēdēja ķēniņa vārtos.
When the virgins were gathered together the second time, Mordecai was sitting in the King's Gate.
20 Bet Estere nebija teikusi ne savus radus, ne savus ļaudis, tā kā Mardakajs tai bija pavēlējis; jo Estere darīja pēc Mardakaja vārda, kā to laiku, kad viņa pie tā uzauga.
Esther had not yet made known her relatives nor her people, as Mordecai had commanded her; for Esther obeyed Mordecai, like she did when she was brought up by him.
21 Tanīs dienās, kad Mardakajs sēdēja ķēniņa vārtos, Bigtans un Teres, divi ķēniņa kambarjunkuri no tiem sliekšņa sargiem, apskaitās un meklēja rokas pielikt pie ķēniņa Ahasverus.
In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the King's Gate, two of the king's eunuchs, Bigthan and Teresh, who were doorkeepers, were angry, and sought to lay hands on the King Achashyerosh.
22 Un šī lieta Mardakajum tapa zināma, un viņš to izteica ķēniņienei Esterei, un Estere to sacīja ķēniņam Mardakaja vārdā.
This thing became known to Mordecai, who informed Esther the queen; and Esther informed the king in Mordecai's name.
23 Un tā lieta tapa izmeklēta un tā atrasta, un tie divi tapa pakārti pie koka, un tas tapa ierakstīts laiku grāmatā priekš ķēniņa.
When this matter was investigated, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree; and it was written in the book of the chronicles in the king's presence.
